I am new to having an ostomy and I'm looking for an ostomy wrap with a pouch for the plastic drain. I use a Hollister 8331 one-piece drainable. The bag is 12 inches long and I'd like a wrap that gives light support and also keeps the plastic from the drain away from my body.
I tried a Siil belt but the barrier wouldn't stay in the belt, that's why I'm looking for a wrap.

I am scheduled for my reversal on 12/4. All my pre-admin stuff is completed and my GI signed off on the clearance letter this morning. I am super excited and looking forward to not having a bag. I just hope all goes well and heals well so I don't wake up with a temp bag which will lead to yet another surgery.
I have learned a lot from this website and will continue to be on here even after surgery. To all the ostomates out there, keep your heads up and keep pressing forward. We all have good and bad days. Best of luck to you all.
I will be sure to post my progress after surgery. I'm praying for you all.
Me too. Let me know if you find a wrap with a built-in pocket. Mine wore thin.
I'm looking for a wrap. I need a little protection, help with noise and to get the plastic from the drain away from my skin.
